NEW YORK and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Who/What:

Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number one independent provider of data integration software, will celebrate the 15th anniversary of its initial public offering - and more than two decades of innovation in unleashing data potential by visiting the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square and ringing the opening bell. Informatica delivers market-leading data integration, data quality, hybrid and big data solutions to more than 5,000 organizations globally.

In an April 18, 2014 report, Gartner lists "Data Integration Tools and Data Quality Tools" in a chart titled, "Enterprise Infrastructure Software Forecast by Segment (1Q14 Update), Total Software Revenue, Worldwide, 2013 and 2018." This segment has the highest five-year CAGR among the ten listed in the report. Informatica sits squarely within this segment. Gartner also states that, "The move toward the digital enterprise is fostering attention on data, with expected positive long-term impacts on data integration tools, data quality tools and DBMSs, which, by year-end 2014, will overtake OSs as the biggest segment." Additionally Gartner noted that "Strong growth of more than 10% in markets such as data integration tools and data quality tools balances out very slow growth of OSs, as each of these markets experiences deep secular change." i

Following the NASDAQ Opening Bell Ceremony, Informatica will be hosting an event with Per Scholas, a local organization whose mission is to break the cycle of poverty by providing technology, education, training and job placement services for people in underserved communities. Informatica employees will be providing career coaching to students of Per Scholas in New York City on April 29, 2014.
